After soaking in the artistic and trendy vibes of Haji Lane, take a short stroll to Kampong Glam, one of Singapore’s most culturally rich and historic districts. This vibrant neighborhood is known for its deep Malay and Arab heritage, reflected in its charming streets, traditional shops, and Middle Eastern influences.
At the heart of Kampong Glam stands the Sultan Mosque, a breathtaking landmark with its grand golden dome and intricate architecture. One of Singapore’s most significant religious sites, the mosque dates back to 1824 and remains an important place of worship for the Muslim community. Visitors can admire its stunning facade or step inside (outside of prayer times) to learn about its history and significance.
As you explore the area, don’t miss Arab Street, lined with fabric shops, perfume stores, and authentic Middle Eastern restaurants.
